The Seven We Just
Couldn’t Leave Out…
Steven Anapoell is a shareholder at Greenberg Traurig’s
Irvine, Calif. office and has been working on EB-5 issues for
the past three years, building upon 23 years of experience
practicing corporate and securities law. Steve’s practice is centered on the formation of private equity funds, mergers and
acquisitions, private and public securities offerings (including
EB-5 program financings), and structuring and negotiating
complex limited liability company, limited partnership and
corporate transactions.

Steve first became involved with EB-5 at the suggestion of a few
of our Top 25 attorneys to work with EB-5 Regional Centers
and projects to address complicated securities and corporate
law issues. Because of his extensive knowledge of securities law
as it is applied to the EB-5 program, AILA invited Steve to be
their featured securities attorney at their 2012 conference in
the Bahamas.
Steve has worked nationally on EB-5 issues, advising clients on
high profile projects and small projects alike that all combine to
be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Steve prides himself on being one of the few corporate lawyers
that also holds a degree in tax law—these combined qualifications make him a robust problem solver. Because he regularly
counsels clients on capital formation and financing strategies,
Steve is able to understand how EB-5 funds can fit into a
successful business plan.

Lawyers” by Los Angeles Magazine for the years 2009-2012.
